On this Tuesday of Holy Week readings center on the Servant of God whose mission transcends apparent failure. In Isaiah, the Servant feels he has "toiled in vain," yet God reveals his true destiny: to be a "light to the nations," bringing salvation to the ends of the earth. In the Gospel, this prophecy reaches fulfillment during the Last Supper. Despite the darkness of Judas’s betrayal and Peter’s impending denial, Jesus declares that the Son of Man is glorified. His "defeat" on the cross is actually the "sharpened arrow" of God's victory, fulfilling the call to restore Israel and redeem the world. #bible #biblestudy #holyweek #shorts
